Great cruise..we had a total blast!! We loved Cozumel especially Passion Island!! Yucatan was a little disappointing but didn't let it ruin the awesome time we had!!

Except for having to park in overflow lot across the road and being bused over...which wasn't horrible, it was very easy smoothe embarking!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Food and service was great as always!! Ate at the seafood shack(clams are very good)1 evening and buffet 1 evening. All was very good!!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We went to Deal or No Deal...it was fun! Lol Casino was great(except cigarette smoke but to be expected) , got to watch some basketball in the SkyBox lounge (very nice) Comedy shows were fun and the movies on deck are a great way to end the evenings!!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The violinist trio were very good! The rock band that played in the main atrium was good and played all types of music. The main shows are a little dated and need refurbished!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
As always service and room stewards were excellent!!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was very clean all over! Design of ship was very comparable to most Carnival ships

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We decided to save a little money this trip and went with an interior room and we booked late so handicap was all they had left. The shower was oversized obviously, it would be great if all rooms those sized showers !! You don't have as much closet space but it wasn't that bad. Our air was very cool..it would have really been a problem if it was a lot hotter out. Bed was comfortable!

Ship tip

Just relax and enjoy every minute!! There will be a little wait for some stuff but know that going in and don't let it bother you! Don't look for things to complain about! Your on a cruise ....set back relax and understand how lucky you are to be there!!

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

Went to Passion Island via Twister boat and had a blast!! Daniel was our guide and he was great!! The beach was exactly what was wanting to just relax and unwind!! Food was good and drinks were strong🤪...Lol Will definitely go back!!

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

1 out of 5
Probably worse port I have ever went too!! The town was very run down and didn't really feel safe!

New Orleans, Louisiana

3 out of 5
The terminal was nice enough but the area around with all the homeless camps was very sad!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easiest disembarking that we have ever had...taking off our luggage really makes a difference!!
